Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the TimeLine daily history puzzle game and related services (the “Service”) operated by Timmie Hemmingsson, a sole trader in Sweden trading as Vireo (“we”, “us”, “our”), at Vistop Kullen 1, 521 95 Kättilstorp, Sweden, reachable at support@aver-web.se. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account and use the Service. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you and must consent before you buy a paid plan — we do not ask you to warrant a legal capacity that föräldrabalken does not give you. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@aver-web.se if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account. You may delete your account at any time through the app’s account settings or by contacting us.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You may use the Service to play puzzles, track your progress, share results, and participate in multiplayer games.

3.1 Prohibited Actions

• Creating accounts using false or fraudulent information.
• Attempting to access another user’s account, data, or game results without authorization.
• Using bots, scripts, or automated tools to play puzzles, submit answers, or manipulate leaderboards.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any part of the Service, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Interfering with or disrupting the Service’s servers, databases, or network infrastructure.
• Submitting false, misleading, or inappropriate content through community features such as event submissions or user profiles.
• Using the Service to transmit any malware, viruses, or harmful code.
• Circumventing, disabling, or tampering with subscription or payment systems.

Breaking these rules can lead to your account being suspended or closed. Section 8 says how that works, and it applies here too.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Plans

We offer a free tier with daily puzzles and a premium subscription (“Premium”) that unlocks additional features such as endless mode, advanced statistics, and additional puzzle categories. Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription.

4.2 Billing

• Web: Payments are processed by Stripe. Your subscription will be billed to the payment method you provide at checkout.
• Android: Payments are processed by Google Play Billing.

4.3 Currency

Prices are in Swedish kronor. If you pay in another currency, Stripe converts the amount at checkout using its own exchange rate, which includes a conversion fee, and shows you the exact amount before you confirm. On Android, Google Play sets and charges the price in your local currency.

4.4 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annually) unless you cancel before the renewal date. The price stays the same unless we tell you about a change at least 30 days before the renewal it applies to, and you may cancel before that renewal rather than pay the new price.

4.5 Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time:

• Web: Cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal linked from your profile settings, or contact support@aver-web.se.
• Android: Cancel through the Google Play Store subscription settings.

Upon cancellation, your Premium access remains active until the end of the current billing period. Beyond that we do not credit partial billing periods, except where the law gives you a refund or where these Terms promise you one — see section 8 if we close your account.

4.6 Refunds

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Swedish Distance Contracts Act (distansavtalslagen 2005:59), and we do not ask you to give it up. If you expressly asked us to start during those 14 days and we told you beforehand what that means for the right, you pay only in proportion to the part of the period you have had and we refund the rest; if we did not, you get the whole amount back. Write to support@aver-web.se. After those 14 days, konsumentköplagen (2022:260) still applies — if the Service is faulty or is not what you were sold, you may be entitled to a price reduction or to your money back — and the promises in these Terms still apply, section 8 among them. A refund is a goodwill decision only where neither the law nor these Terms already gives you one. On Android, Google Play pays a refund out under its own process; that process does not decide whether you are owed one — the rights above apply on both platforms, and if Google declines, write to support@aver-web.se.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, game mechanics, and content (historical event data, descriptions, and images), is owned by Vireo and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Historical event data sourced from Wikipedia and Wikidata is used under their respective licenses.

You retain ownership of your game results and personal content. By using the Service, you grant us a license to store and process your game data for the purpose of providing the Service, including displaying your results on leaderboards and in multiplayer games as applicable.

6. Disclaimers

Nothing in this section limits the conformity requirements konsumentköplagen (2022:260) places on a digital service supplied for payment, the remedies it gives you when the Service does not meet them, or any promise made elsewhere in these Terms. Subject to that, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without further warranties, and we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Historical event dates and descriptions are provided for entertainment and educational purposes and may contain inaccuracies.

7. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury, for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot be limited under Swedish law. Nor does anything here reduce your rights as a consumer. Chapter 9 of the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (konsumentköplagen 2022:260) covers digital content and digital services, and chapter 1, section 10 of that Act makes any term less favourable to you than the Act itself without effect against you.

Subject to the paragraph above, our total liability for any claim relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of what you have paid us in the twelve months before the event the claim arises from and 500 kronor.

To the extent Swedish law allows it to be excluded, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit or revenue.

8. Termination

You may close your account at any time by deleting it in the app or by contacting us. Deletion takes effect immediately. If you have a paid subscription, deleting the account does not cancel it. A subscription taken out on the web must be cancelled before you delete, through the Stripe Customer Portal in your profile settings — afterwards the portal needs an account you no longer have. A Google Play subscription is held by Google rather than by us: it also keeps running, but you can still cancel it in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions after the account is gone. Write to support@aver-web.se if a charge is taken after you have deleted, and we will refund it.

We may suspend or close your account if you materially breach these Terms — for example by manipulating results, attacking the Service, or using it fraudulently. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right. We will not close a paid account without cause; if we close one for any reason other than your breach, we refund the remaining prepaid period after closure. When an account closes, the licences and rights granted to you under these Terms end with it.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is resolved in the courts of Sweden. As a consumer you keep the right to bring proceedings in the country where you live, and the mandatory consumer protection of that country still applies to you.

Before starting legal proceedings, please write to support@aver-web.se — most things are settled that way.

You can also take a dispute to the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN) at arn.se, or ARN, Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm. ARN decides whether it can examine the dispute under its own rules; current information about its application fee, value thresholds, time limits and exceptions is on arn.se. If ARN examines the dispute, we take part in the proceedings and we follow its recommendation.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will tell you about material changes through the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not accept a change, you may cancel before it takes effect and we refund the remaining prepaid period. If a change materially impairs a paid plan, you may end the subscription for that reason within 30 days of the later of our notice and the change taking effect, with the same refund — you do not have to delete your account to do either. No change reduces the rights you have under Swedish law, and konsumentköplagen (2022:260) governs changes we make to the Service itself.
